I didn’t engage his point because I’ve taken it as a given that we’ll have to agree to disagree. There’s too much conviction on both sides to take that one in any meaningful direction. To some, to you and to the one I replied to, it is a mo

Increased price pressure would incentivized a bit more ingenuity. There’s a number of things that are cheaper to purchase a replacement for than to maintain and repair. That has its pluses and minuses, but you could change up the cost equat

It’s all about the spices and sauces. Doesn’t matter if you’re cooking steak or tofu, it doesn’t have to be boring.

Your assumption is wrong. The tax I would support is entirely theoretical and would raise the prices of all industrial products on the market from all forms of food to all forms of textiles and all forms of computers and machinery. I suspec

A GHG tax is one that prices in externalities and will hurt trade over long distances in more or less equal measure, I’m not the biggest fan of it because I fear it would be used for policies other than mitigating the effects of a changing

Hmm. I didn’t consider it like this, but the new Transbay Transit Center has trash cans of a similar design all around the rooftop park. They are enclosed, but the enclosure is completely transparent so you can easily see in the bags. Hones

As someone who isn’t considering giving up my ways, red blooded meat eating American that I am, I actually appreciate vegans to some degree. As long as there are an appreciable number of them, I will enjoy a greater variety of dishes and in

Everything we make and buy will someday return to dust. It is an economic decision to make choices about the level of complexity you are willing to tolerate from device to device. The lights go out, I can burn some candles, but I would stil

What you’re perceiving as aging is merely an illusion created in your mind when you look in the mirror. You think you must be aging because most people do, in fact, age. What you need to realize is that Gen X is stuck in a crack in time tha

Nah mate. Biggest issue I’ve ever had with the Ribbon is that 1. I didn’t have to use it very often and 2. It conflates menus and toolbars together and 3. The only time I’ve ever had to use it was when helping a friend find the action they

Okay, pick some variables. What do you want to measure to determine the value or importance of differing “public squares” and what criteria would you like to use to define what is and isn’t a “public square”? Personally while I don’t thin

There is a lot that the founders didn’t account for from the cotton gin forward, but they inherited one of the most flexible legal systems in the world and even made some improvements upon it. The nice thing about the common law is that it

To be frank I think the relevancy of those few social networks that are considered “public squares” is massively overblown. They can register on a political radar, but only on a very crowded radar screen. Tumblr isn’t dead yet, and is still

Replace Reddit, Twitter, and Discord or any of the zillion other social networks that exist, the existence of which undermines your concerns from the start, and put in something more traditional like a mall, a private cemetery, or the local

To be honest I didn’t see the word “oil” initially, but other comments already addressed this: Walmart does have to deal with large quantities of oil and related commodities. In addition to their grocery business, they also run a large logi

Probably price insulation. In San Francisco, depending on where you go right now, tomatoes might be $20 a case or they might be $40 a case. Why is any place selling them for $40 a case? I honestly couldn’t tell you other than there was prob

To prove that the owner of the car or at least the person registered to it really was driving the car at the time. Now full disclosure, I don’t drive, but of my buddies that do, one received a ticket last year here in California in the mail

I agree with this statement, my default reaction would be to say “build one” but you have. I’ll give Cliqz the old college try, but I hope you make it a priority to get into the next release of MobileSafari as an option if you’re intent wit

If there’s a President that isn’t complicated, he probably wasn’t a good President. It’s like I always tell people: being a nice guy isn’t a prerequisite for the job, and the President usually isn’t a nice guy. He’s the Commander in Chief o

Where exactly are you drawing the distinction between the social and market value? The local news is just another type of information, and if you don’t spend your money on it, you’re at least spending your time. Near as I can tell, the peop

This discounts the possibility that at lower levels of government, America might already be a high corruption country. Let’s break this down: 1. The performance of the local government. You can already see this when you talk with your neigh

Not a great comparison. Of course exercise has intrinsic value! It’s just the grueling hard work that used to be life isn’t such grueling hard work anymore, and we haven’t yet adapted to that. It’s too easy to not work hard and make a good
